Parking Enforcement Won't Make Streets Safer

December 14, 1994

Reckless driving, speeding and running changing traffic lights are rampant. Yet I seldom see traffic patrols or enforcement of any kind, despite people exceeding speed limits by 10 to 25 miles an hour on big streets and little streets alike.

There is, however, plenty of parking enforcement despite the fact that this doesn't make the streets any safer.

Fines generated by traffic enforcement would pay for patrols and make all streets safer.
